Sell your semi truck for cash in Murphy the easy and convenient way

Antire Quarry (CS-72), a crushed-stone site the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists 4.1 miles west of Murphy, and House Springs Quarry (CS-73), 8.4 miles south-west, put two stone operations on the Gravois Road side of town. A tri-axle or tandem dump that has hauled out of either one can stay at the quarry, at your yard or at your house; give us the address and the name of whoever controls the gate.

On the east side, Shead at 4.4 miles and the Hageman Plant at 4.8 miles both appear in Mine Safety and Health Administration records as sand and gravel operations. If your truck has been loading at those pits, photograph the bed, the hoist, the tag axle and the cab from four sides, and send the VIN with the pictures so we can match them to the title.

Quikrete Companys Inc. runs a mineral processing plant 4.1 miles north of Murphy, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Flatbeds and box trucks that have carried bagged material out of a plant like that are welcome here; tell us the body type, the body length and whether a liftgate or moffett mount is fitted.

Four miles north, the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows a rail yard named Daimler. Burlington Junction, which the Bureau of Transportation Statistics classes as a liquid bulk terminal, lies 4.2 miles to the north-east. A tractor that has shuttled between those two points, or a straight tanker that has loaded at the terminal, should come with its registration and any hazmat or tank test paperwork you still hold, so the file is complete when we look at it.

The Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts for 2023 put 3,927 jobs in the Murphy area, with manufacturing at 1,011 of them, or 25.7 percent. If a stake bed, roll-off or delivery truck from a plant lot is yours to sell, you can have us collect it straight from the plant lot once the title is in hand.

Construction accounts for 593 local jobs and 15.1 percent of the total in that same LEHD release, while wholesale trade holds 484 jobs, 12.3 percent. Contractors sell us dumps, water trucks and service bodies; wholesalers sell us reefers and straight trucks. Whichever you have, write down the engine model and the gross vehicle weight rating from the door sticker before you call.

Transportation and warehousing is listed at 63 jobs, 1.6 percent of local employment, in the Census Bureau’s 2023 LODES figures. If you are an owner-operator keeping a single tractor at home near Murphy between runs, that driveway is where we will pick it up.

USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 656 farms in Jefferson County, with cattle, soybeans and corn heading the list. Livestock haulers, grain trucks with hoists and farm flatbeds all fit what we purchase, and a farm truck sitting in a barn lot outside Murphy does not need to be driven anywhere first.

Find the title for a farm truck before harvest gets busy. If the bed was swapped or a hoist added, keep a note of when it was done and send a photo of the plate on the box along with the cab and frame pictures.

The Missouri Department of Revenue runs a license office at 1684 Gravois Rd in High Ridge, one mile from Murphy. That counter is where a duplicate title application is handled if yours has gone missing, and it is also where a lien release gets recorded on the title once a lender has signed off.

Bring a photo ID and the VIN when you go to High Ridge, and if a bank or credit union financed the truck, ask that lender for a signed lien release first. Once the clean title is back in your name, send us a picture of both sides and we can set the pickup.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics places the NGA Arnold Site, a military installation, 7.1 miles south-east of Murphy. If your truck is parked anywhere on that side of the county, give us the street address and a nearby cross street rather than the site name.

Wherever in northern Jefferson County the truck is, tell us whether the keys are with it, whether the batteries are connected and whether someone can be on hand when we arrive. Those three answers settle most of the planning for a collection around Murphy.
